Compostable Lunch Bag by Amelie, age 7

Key Stage 2 winners

Best invention
Sound Insulating Polymer Wallpaper by Aalyah, age 10
Real Initiative Home Education, Leyton

"My idea is sound insulating wallpaper. Instead of having to pull out your wall to install sound insulation you simply put on the sound insulating wallpaper... The name of my wallpaper is P&Q - Peace & Quiet. The Q comes after the P (the quiet comes after the pasting)"

School prize
The Magnificent Robotic Robot by Louie, age 7, Alexander, age 10, and Ewan, Age 9
Muggington C of E Primary School, Ashbourne

As the individual winner is home educated we had to choose another entry for the school prize. The robot project was really well presented, and included a photo of the robot they built as a model. Since this was a team effort they could not win the individual prize but we are very happy to name Muggington C of E as the winning school.
